Why build another JRPG?
Games like this — a party of four, a world map, towns you can rest in, dungeons that end in a boss worth the climb — were what got me into games in the first place. The Shattered Compass is my attempt to build that feeling from scratch: an original world, an original story, and a battle system that still respects your time.
It's built with Phaser 3, runs entirely in the browser, and everything you see — maps, sprites, story, systems — has gone through the same one-person pipeline. That means updates are frequent, but it also means things are still rough in places. If you play it, you're playing it in the middle of that process.
What's next
The world currently spans all four regions and a full main story from start to finish. From here, active work is balance passes, class polish, and smaller quality-of-life features — with an eye toward a more finished release down the line.
